I have a program that lets me download YouTube videos no matter who owns them

No It's a Mozilla add-on

No It's called YouTube down loader.

I was able to download an old video of mine, and I lost the original file. It helps because it downloads in high quality.

Go to your inbox, click Personal Messages, open the PM in question, then open another. Then click Inbox, wait for that to load, then click Inbox again, then leave the page and hopefully you're cured.

I just switched over, figuring that I might as well do it now, and get used to the new design. Wait. I really miss my old YouTube!!!

*sob*

EDIT: I got it back. I am a happy man.

Yeah. The video says that they new design will "enhance the user experience." By that, I guess they meant playing to the general audience's fast-growing short attention spans and cutting right to the videos, making the actual written information on a person's profile as least-accessible as possible.

And given how few people actually read the information on my profile already, I can expect the amount of "waht camera do u use??" or "how do u get the banner abuv ur profile?/" messages to skyrocket once the design is implemented.

Umm...how is it bad for partners?  We can now display advertisements on our channel pages, which is nice.  I guess you can't really emphasize revenue-shared videos as much.

Other than that, though, I really don't like the new design.  You can't showcase specific videos as easily, and as others have said, the info is somewhat hidden now.  To be fair, I already get loads of questions that are in the FAQ even as it is now, I'm not sure if it'll make a difference.  (The small minority who would think to to check the channel will still do it, IMO)

It's funny though, the most popular question for my HD video tutorial is "that made my video 25 gb!  how do i upload that?!?!"  In the tutorial, I mention that it's going to need to be compressed, have multiple annotations further explaining this, and the entire second half of the video explains how to compress it to a smaller size.  It boggles my mind that many people only watch half of the video tutorial before asking such a stupid question.

Actually, now that I look at it, the new channels aren't that bad. I mean, they let the user stay on the channel page and access all the videos, theyre likely to be scrolling down the page and reading the channel info, since I do this on normal videos now (if the video is boring I will scroll down and read all the bad comments )

But yeah. I'm going to switch over now and test it out.
